The action opened with the platoon arriving in a small hamlet to investigate a report of an unexploded bomb. A great deal of milling around ensued with Walker cadging cigarettes and Fraser disappearing to make a telephone call. Meanwhile Pike has spotted a hole on the roof of one of the houses but everyone is ignoring him..

ARP Warden Hodges then appeared grumbling about it being "an ARP matter". While the argument raged, Jones accidentally discharged his rifle and shot Hodges's helmet off! Eventually Jones bribed Hodges with some sausages and he buggered off.

While part of the platoon was searching the timbered house a large dog appeared and ran at Walker. Walker then ran off and tripped over a metal object which turned out to be a bomb! As Mainwaring tried to restore order, Wilson went to ring GHQ and Jones flung himself on the bomb which promptly began ticking... As the episode ends, cut to a close up of Fraser - "we're all doomed...."

About Me

I built my first plastic kit in about 1971 (an inevitable Airfix Spitfire IX), and can date my wargaming 'career' back to 1977 (aged 11) when in the company of my friends John and Lee I played a simple game with the Airfix (20mm) tanks we had accumulated. Soon a chance find of a couple of Don Featherstone books in the local library revealed that 'grown-ups' did this sort of thing too! I joined Wargame Developments in 1985 and have attended their annual Conference of Wargamers (COW) since 1990. I have also, together with Bob Cordery, been organising it for the past few years. My main interest has always been WW2, with a side order of various postwar conflicts. I also dabble in earlier periods. I am particularly interested in 'operational' level games.
